My girl had recurrent issues, and it turned out she had a congenital issue (remnant tissue inside causing the urine to pool), and she had to have an operation to fix it. You might want to consult a good internal medicine specialist.
MaxaLisa, was this the recessed vulva? Some Vets do still urge surgery for a recessed vulva. But a heat (season) will often fix it on it's own.
